I burned the Linhes ISO to a USB stick and try to boot it in the unit. Won't boot.Checked USB stick on my laptop and booted fine.

After doing some research the hardware needs a GPT partiton scheme for UEFI on the USB to boot into it.I burned a ubuntu iso to a usb and it booted fine .It is a EFI bootable imagei burned a mythbuntu iso to a usb and it booted fine. It is a EFI bootable image

Using Rufus to do the burning. It has an option to burn a GPT partion, but when the linhes iso is selected, it say that the ISO needs to be EFI bootable image.

So I guess the Linhes images are not EFI compatible

Is there any way to convert the current Linhes image to a EFI bootable image.or to create a EFI bootable image for Lines

So, I installed to a spare SD card I had laying around. The installation went well, except the system will not boot.

I suspect the issue is there is no EFI compliant partition/filesystem to boot from. Is is possible to change the LinHes installer to prompt about EFI support and create a FAT32 filesystem that contains /boot ?

Thanks for your reply. As I stated before, I've already built the bootable USB drive and can boot LinHes with the device. The instructions you referred to don't quite match this situation. I am using Debian 8 with grub-pc, grub-efi-ia32-bin, and grub-efi-amd64-bin (GRUB 2.02). I'm betting the equivalent packages could be built/packaged for the next version of LinHes. I've kept decent notes, I think the process could easily be repeated by someone else without pulling code from git and compiling.

I suspect the difficult part would be trying to detect if a device needs EFI, the install process may have to be changed to prompt the user if EFI is needed.

I've done more reading and it appears the kernel will also need some EFI options enabled. Does anyone know if the current LinHes kernel has EFI options enabled? Otherwise, I'll have to use another distribution.
